If You Leave Me / Everybody Wants to Rule the World Songtext
von Niall Horan

(Hey, if you ever, you ever)
How we doing over here?

Met you in a dream
Chase you through the street
Turned around and you were gone
Woke up in a daze
Moonlight on your face
My heart was racin′ at the thought

If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely, yeah
If you leave me
Hope you know that you're sentencing me
To a life on my knees
I don′t know who I would be

If you ever (leave me)
If you ever (leave me)


I'm in too deep
Swimmin' in your sea
So tell me where you want to go
′Cause I don′t wanna change
Have it any other way
Just promise that you'll stay this close

If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely, yeah
If you leave me
Hope you know that you′re sentencing me
To a life on my knees
Don't know who I would be

If you ever (leave me)
If you ever (leave me)

Come on
Wakin′ up with you gone in the mornin'
Goin′ to sleep with you not here at night
Oh, these feelings, they would just be so foreign
Can't you stay for the rest of my life?

If you leave me
Oh, I think that I just might lose it completely, yeah
If you leave me
Hope you know that you're sentencing me
To a life on my knees
Don′t know who I would be


If you ever (leave me) (if you ever)
If you ever (leave me) (if you ever)
If you ever (leave me) (if you ever)

If you ever, you ever
If you ever, you ever
If you ever, you ever, oh

Welcome to your life
There′s no turning back
And even while we sleep
We will find you

Acting on your best behaviour
And turn your back on Mother Nature
(Everybody wants to rule)
Again

And it's my own design
And it′s my own remorse
And helps me to decide
And helps me make the

Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
(Everybody wants to rule the world)

There's a room where the light won′t find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right beside you

So glad we′ve almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody (wants to rule the world)

Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
(Everybody wants to rule the world)
Yes, hold on
